When running on this low-resource platform, patch /home/chromium/index.html to remove <script> elements which load Bootstrap and JQuery libraries.
Modify startup scripts to ensure that chromium runs with --no-memcheck on RPiZero2W. If this flag is not specified the wrapper script /usr/bin/chromium will cause a modal dialog containing a low memory warning to be displayed - on display-only systems with no mouse/pointer device this makes the intended content to be displayed unreachable.

On RPi02W, the browser block is not in kiosk mode without and input device (mouse/pointer/keyboard) because a modal warning is displayed that the device has less memory than is recommended. Without input capability this cannot be dismissed. Even with an input device, the warning is annoying (and will be displayed twice because chromium is executed to discover the version number before running to set up the web window)
This PR modifies the start scripts to insert flag --no-memcheck into the command line on this device only.
This PR replaces #186, and is more minimal.
